The Bachelor franchise has unveiled its charismatic new lead in the form of Grant Ellis, who stole hearts with his heartfelt departure on Monday night's emotionally charged episode of The Bachelorette Season 21, just shy of the hometown dates that would have sealed his fate with Jenn Tran. ABC paints Ellis as a self-admitted mama's boy, whose radiant smile and relentless positivity are like sunshine, illuminating every corner he steps into.
A former professional basketball star turned aspiring day trader, Ellis embodies the spirit of the Lakers on the court and off, indulging in leisurely bowling sessions and karaoke nights with equal fervor. As the next Bachelor, he embarks on a thrilling odyssey, brimming with romance, exhilarating adventures, and the quest for authentic connections. With a heart set on finding a soulmate who resonates with his values of unwavering loyalty, a keen sense of humor, and a profound appreciation for life's humble joys, Ellis is poised to captivate audiences worldwide.
The Bachelor's debut is anticipated for sometime next year, adhering to its customary wintertime slot. Recall last season's enchantment, led by Joey Graziadei, which enchanted viewers from January to March. However, before Ellis embarks on his own love quest, viewers will be treated to a pioneering edition of The Golden Bachelorette, hosted by Joan Vassos, premiering exclusively on ABC on September 18.
Crafted by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in collaboration with Warner Horizon, The Bachelor, alongside its storied franchise siblings, boasts an esteemed team of executive producers, including Claire Freeland, Bennett Graebner, Tim Warner, and Peter Gust, who meticulously curate each episode, ensuring a captivating and unforgettable viewing experience.
